INFLUENZA!
People Strongly Urged to Continue Precautions as Iso
lated Outbreaks are Expected Throughout Winter
Infection Proved Only Possible by I
of Vicious Infii
It has been clearly established that
the living virulent influenza germs
are readily conveyed from one person
to another.'
These germs are present in the ex
cretions of the nose, mouth and throat
or other air passage and as these
mucous excretions are discharged the
living germs go with them.
I.IVING GERMS AFLOAT
These germs are so exceedingly
ismall that the minutest even invisible
particles of this discharge may con
tain these in great numbers. These
discharges are most frequently and
widely scattered in the air as an al
most invisible spray of coughing and
sneezing unless the nose and mouth
are covered by a handkerchief or
other efficient substitute. By this
simple precaution all these dangerous
germs may be kept out of the air and
the largest risk of the conveyance to
others of this disease avoided.
WARNINGS
Don't become alarmed. Keep your
balance, watch and give every atten
tion to your nose and throat. Keep
your mouth shut and breathe through
your nose previously applying a little
Forkola to the inside of the nostrils.
This serves to collect and destroy the
germs at the entrance to your system
and before they can do any damage
Keep warmlly clad and wear heavy
soled shoes. Sleep with the windows
open but be careful to have amnle
bed-clothes.
SYMPTOMS
The first symptoms are chills, a
headache and depression and In the
great majority of cases a feeling of
catching cold and fever. When these
symptoms appear, hurry home obtain

severe cough and cold and'have not

the former Banking Commissioner
Lafean and applauded when Fisher
said, "You'll not be treated like
crooks; I shall start In to recognize
you as high-grade gentlemen. I want
to say to you that we are about to
ask the Legislature for some legisla
tion that will reorganize our depart
ment and bring It up to a standard
where it can render effeclent service.
"If legislation grants us that power"
We hope to catch up with the lagging
work of the department. Heretofore
there has been only on examination a
year of state institutions and in the
case of some banking companies the
banking department is two years be
hind.
"We hope to increase our force un
til we have enough men to accom
plish our work. When our examiners
come to your offices, they will treat
you with respect, and if they don't
I want you to report them to me;
Being a gentleman Is not incosistent
with the performance of official du
ties. On the other hand, we do not
ptomise you' that we won't ask you
to obey the law strictly."
In telling these bankers that upon
them is placed the burden of the
present, critical problems Mr. Fisher
said: "If you keep your banks clean
and solid and within the lines of
safety, you have a firm rock upon
which a pre-war foundation will be
builj. If you do loose, wild banking
more or less, you'll create sand on
which our future will fall."

tity of Forkola. Take a hot bath, as
hot as you can stand it, a hot drink,
preferably hot lemonade and a good
laxative and gro to bed. AND NOW
'COMES THE IMPORTANT ADVICE.
These symptoms show that the germ
has a foothold. Make up your mind
you'll soon be well. Keep your bed
room window open but have heat in
the room. Exercise the same care as
in measles, diphtheria or smallpox.
Don't allow a careless physician to
minimize the importa .ee of your case
but be most careful to expectorate in
gauze or In rage that must be burned
and not washed.
But above all do not forget to ap
ply Forkola liberally In the mucous
membrane of the nose and throat.
This is just as important as the hot
bath and hot drinks.
THE PNEUMONIA OP INFLUENZA
Which is a frequent complication,
while apparently very severe may dis
appear in a night under proper treat
ment and the best way for a person
afflicted with Influenza to avoid Pneu
monia is to go to bed at once and stay
there until the physician permits you
to get up. While In bed the back,
throat and chest should be liberally
covered with Forkola and flannel ap
plied to en sure the necessary heat for
its absorption. Allow a little to melt
in your mouth three or four times
daily. It soothes and heals the in
flamed membranes and permits the
easy expulsion of phlegm.
IMPOHTANT—in some districts the
demand for Forkola has been so heavy
that there is a temporary shortage.
The public are warned against accept
ing substitutes and to insist on For
kola as all wholesalers are supplied
and your druggist, if he is sold out,
can get it on short notice.

of the city:
Boys, do you know that this week is known as Father and Son week? The week has been set aside
as a time when you are to keep particularly close to your father. Why not make the next few days, espe
cially, days of "companionship with him? Stay home with him and go out with'him. Play games with him.
Go to church with him. Go to the banquet with him next Monday night. You have another Father also; ask
Him to help you to honor at all times your earthly father 'that thy days may be long upon the land
which the Lord thy God giveththee.'"

Father and Son Week
Coal Production in
Central Fields Expected
to Shhow Improvement
Altoona, Feb. 13.—That conditions
in the coal industry in the central
Pennsylvania field, which has fallen
off fifty per cent, as compared
with six months ago, are going to
improve materially in the near fu
ture, is the opinion of leading op
erators and officials of the Central
Pcnrsylvania Coal Producers' Asso
ciation.
The production during the week
ending February 1 was 700,000 tons
and it fell somewhat below that
figure last week, but operators of
the Barnesboro group, who were in
Altoona-for a conference yesterday,
gave it as their omnion that the
trend will soon be in the other direc
tion. Reserve stocks are now
about used up and conditions are
bound to improve.
There has not been much reduc
tion in the wholesale price as yet,
because the Government has
ed through the agency of the fuel
administration that there shall bo
no reduction in wages until the
treaty of peace is promulgated.

extent of three months' of use.

days later the armistice was signed.

Private Howell B£cht
Arrives Home After a
Stirring War Experience
"Hello, Dad!"
The voice was familiar to Dr. J.
George Beeht, secretary of the State
Board of Education, as he entered the
University Club at Philadelphia yes
terday, and he was not exactly sur
prised, but certainly delighted to see
the brave figure of Private Howell
Becht, who had just arrived from,
France on the Celtic, and who, this
very minute, according to Dr. Becht,
Is asleep in a regular bed at the Becht
home, in Harrisburg, where he will
not be disturbed by Boche shells.
Young Becht had one of the most
uncommon experiences of any lad who
went to war from Harrisburg. He
sailed abroad Christmas of last year
with the First Gas and Flame Regi
ment, better known as the Hell Fire
Unit, after training at Wahington
with his comrades, who were mostly
American college lads. This unit was
hurried across and chummed in with
the British in the Flanders front at
the most deadly moment, and though
not long trained, made good, .with
bolls on. They handled gas, bombs
and Stokes trench mortars, and were
sopn shifted to Frensh forces at
Chateau Thierry, being on the job/at
Argonne end Verdun. Becht saw one
year of the fiercest combat and never
got a wound, though baptized in
Flanders Field, and for one year in
the very vortex of battle.
"It's kind o' good to see you back,"
was "Pop" Becht's salutation, for he
is handicapped with a bad cold, but
bystanders noticed a suggestion of
husklness which was not due to the
cold.

GERMANY MUST
GIVE REPORT ON
WAR MATERIAL
Subcommittee Presents Re
port to Supreme War
Council
Paris, Feb. 13. —The Supreme "War
Council has reached a final deter
mination of the new terms of the
German armistice. There wero pres
ent at the meeting yesterday in ad
dition to President Wilson and the
foreign ministers of the great pow
ers. Marshal Foch, Field Marshal
Haig, Marshal Petain, General
Pershing and General Diaz.
A full agreement on the terms was
presented in the report from the
subcommittee, embracing military
and economic member's. The re
port was unanimous, including the
adherence of the American mem
bers. General Tusker H. Bliss and
Norman Davis, which indicates that
economic measures figure in the
new terms equally with military
measures.
The report must be approved by
tlv) Supreme War Council before it
becomes effective.
Tho German authorities have been
asked to furnish information con
firming the amount of their war ma
terial. cannon, airplanes and other
equipment. This question came up
in the recent sessions of the war
council when the extent of this war
material was advanced as a reason
for taking effective measures against
the renewal of warlike activities.
Before dotcrmining on any such
step, it was cohsidered desirable to
request information, both as a memo
dealing wttli the subject and as
testing the good faith of the enemy
in disclosing the status of his mili
tary equipment.

Seborrhea Kills the Hair
Fame Kills Seborrhea
Seborrhea is an old trouble to
which cientist hwe given a
new name.
And science has fourtd in Famo
a new way of overcoming it.
Seborrhea is the disease which
kills the roots of the hair by •
means of the deadly dandruff
bacilli.
It does to the hair What pyor
rhea does to the teeth.
Famo is a formula worked out
in one of the great pharmaceuti
cal houses of Detroit.
Three years were retjuired to
develop Famo.
It proved its efficacy before it
was offered to the public.
The way in which Famo does its
work is almost unbelievable.
Transformation is
Wonderful 4
Almost at once your eyes testify
to the transformation.
New hair grows like the hair of
healthy children
The scalp becomes like the scalp
of a baby. All itching of the
scalp is stopped.
Famo brings back the look of
health by a softness and lustre
beyond vtords to describe.
Famo Destroys Bacilli
Famo removes the obstacle to
growth, when it kills the sebor
rhea (dandruff) bacilli
Freed from the bondage of dis
ease, the hair leaps into luxuri
ance.
In women the change is won
derful.
If their hair was normally beau
tiful, the beauty is intensified.
